Now Virginia Is Refusing To Listen To Obama On Guns

While Vice President Joe Biden was in Virginia promoting the
White House's plan for gun control, members of the state's House
of Delegates introduced a law to undermine the administration.

The House of Delegates' Militia, Police, and Public Safety
Committee approved a bill Friday that
would forbid state agencies and employees from helping the
federal government enforce new gun control measures in the state,
The Virginian-Pilot reported Saturday.

President Barack Obama announced earlier this month
a gun control proposal that would require background checks
for private gun sales and would reinstate the expired assault
weapons ban.

But Virginia's Republican-controlled House committee isn't having
it.

House Bill 2340, which will now hit the full House floor, is
meant to ensure that "no employee of the commonwealth or any of
its political subdivisions should help the federal government
tread upon our long-held belief that Second Amendment rights are
highly individualized and very important," Republican state
delegate Todd Gilbert told the Pilot.

Virginia is just one in a growing line of states fighting back
against federal gun control.

Wyoming, Texas, Mississippi, and Tennessee legislators
have all announced plans to make it a crime for state
employees to enforce federal gun control measures.
